What is your break-in routine for new vehicles?

[miked]

sa tingin ko, yung kombinasyon ng trapik ng metro manila at hiway speeds sa expressway ay more than enough na para mabreakin ang isang makina. syempre kasama na yung engine & vehicle speed recommendation ng manufacturer. ang importante e wag ibabad ng matagal sa iisang engine speed lamang (kaya yung trapik na nabanggit ko).

Plus, wag lalagpas ng 100 kph or 3,000 rpm sa first 100o kms.

Para sa akin old practice na yan. Wala na yan sa karamihan ng owner's manual ngayon

As per advise ng mga friends nag break in kami last weekend sa TPLex...up to 120kph kami. Ok lang ba yun? Tama lang ba yung ginawa namin?

As long as you don't push your car to tachometer redline, you'll be fine. I bet you have not pushed the car past 4000 rpm.

i just drive decently and within commonsense safety parameters.

No naman...it beeps when we are reaching 100 to 120...

Personally, for new cars I drive slow with light load... (RPM is never over 3K). After the 1K check, I'm confident to load the car, but still driving carefully until 5K

I drive the usual way after...

Wala naman mawawala, some will have their own way of breaking in a new car/rebuilt engine...

Way back mid-80's... We drove carefully with minimal load without A/C!

*light/minimal load - max 3 passengers*

There are two schools of thought when it comes to breaking in a new car. On one camp there's the drive-it-like-you-stole-it crowd, which favors savoring every ounce of performance that the car has to offer.

I am to get my new car next week. May break in ba for cvt trans? Sorry noob po with cars

Car manuals these days usually have a section on how to handle the vehicle for the first thousand kilometers or so. Just follow the instructions and you should be fine.
